Instrument Rentals, Repairs, and even some used ones for sale

1) BAND AND ORCHESTRA INSTRUMENT RENTALS (NO TUBAS, SORRY!)
Calliope Music partners with Menchey Music Services, a family-run company out of Hanover, PA, to provide high quality instrument rentals.

Throughout September and October, the busiest times for rentals, Calliope stocks most sizes of string instruments, as well as plenty of brass, woodwind, and percussion. Our prices are very reasonable and in line with most other rental companies.

We offer a rent-to-own program: the money you pay each month goes toward purchase of your instrument if you decide you want to buy it. For string players who begin with smaller sized instruments, this money can be applied toward size trade ups, so that you don’t lose the money you’ve invested.

One of the benefits of this program is that you’re not locked into a contract. You can bring the instrument back at any time without a penalty. As parents and teachers ourselves, we think this is the best way to rent an instrument.

Our instrumental rental program features:

Rent-to-own contract

Competitive prices

Good student quality instruments

Knowledgeable staff complete with advice if needed

Return the instrument at any time without penalty

Maintenance and repair program that covers any problems (excluding new strings and reeds) and provides you with a loaner instrument if necessary

(Note that we do strongly recommend the maintenance and repair insurance plan offered for instrument rentals.)

2) INSTRUMENT REPAIRS
We repair instruments! If you’re looking for someone to repair a sticky valve or replace some pads, we can get it done for you. Our repair technician is off-site, so please allow about 3-4 weeks for repair. We also offer free estimates.

Please call or email us to ask about prices or any questions you might have. And if you have a specialized instrument need, contact us! I’m sure that, together with Menchey, we can meet your needs.

3) USED INSTRUMENTS FOR SALE as of 3/2019

French Horn – ContinentalDouble $360 as is. Needs some repair work estimated around $200 but well worth repairing according to our repair guy. And we love the case!

Flute (Bundy) and Piccolo (Emerson)$75 each Can be sold together or separately. Both need overhauls most probably but are good student instruments and worth it. New pads, a set up and a good shine – any school student will be proud to play in their band or orchestra with these!

Flute (Armstrong) $75 Student flute that needs a set up, perfect for a beginner.

Violin 3/4 size (Eastman)$100 Very nice student violin, needs strings and bow re-haired but well worth it. The black case has lots of pockets and includes two Kun shoulder rests.

Violin 1/2 size (Suzuki) $50 Decent starter violin for small child. Needs strings and possibly new bow hair but not necessarily. Case is good and includes a Kun shoulder rest.
